SHANGHAI, Jun. 5 (SMM) – SHFE 1309 aluminum contract opened slightly higher at RMB 14,895/mt on Wednesday.

In the afternoon session, SHFE aluminum for September delivery bounced back as shorts exited after LME aluminum led gains.  Finally, SHFE 1309 aluminum contract closed at an intraday high of RMB 14,970/mt, up RMB 115/m or 0.77%. Positions decreased 1,194 lots to 47,558 lots.
